I have already seen the other posts on this topic here but was not able
to find the solution

I am fairly new to coding I want to use deepspeech library to convert
speech to text.

I am following this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_0Q3T0XYTA

I have created and activated the virtual environment in pycharm and then
installed the deepspeech module via pip.

but when I run the import deepspeech command I am getting the
following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File 'D: slash Coding slash jarvis slash app.py', line 1, in
import deepspeech
File 'D: slash Coding slash jarvis slash deepspeech slash lib slash site-packages slash deepspeech slash init.py', line 23, in
from deepspeech.impl import Version as version
File 'D: slash Coding slash jarvis slash deepspeech slash lib slash site-packages slash deepspeech slash impl.py', line 13, in
from . import _impl
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _impl: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

when I dig a little deeper into the code I found

this

This might help you.

Kindly tell a solution to this and if possible make it easy to
understand for a beginner.

I want to make a basic voice assistant to perform some tasks. I don't
want to use the speech recognition library as it needs an online
connection and adds to the latency. I want to use the pre-trained models
of deepspeech and have real-time conversion. So any other suggestions
will be really helpful.
